Accidental Ringo Starr References

Inspired by @the-accidental-beatles-reference !! I do this in real life too

[accidental-ringo-starr-reference]

Hi, I point out Ringo Starr references in posts that are not related to Ringo whatsoever. This is a silly side blog.

This blog idea is by @the-accidental-beatles-reference but instead of Beatles, it’s just Ringo. Because I like his solo career a lot and this is something I also do in real life. I am a chore to be around.

My main blog is @ringos-of-the-ringo-starr-show where I post other things. Also to do with ringo (I’m sure you couldn’t tell).

Send me random things if you want I’ll try and find Ringo in there somewhere.

Edit: my asks are actually open now I thought they were for ages 💔 send me smth to find Ringo in, if you’d like!

I’ll tag posts I reference Ringo in just with ‘holy macaroni Ringo reference!!’ I think I’d like that to be my tag.

Also my banner is Stop And Smell The Roses because it’s one of my favourite albums someone agree with me on that that it’s a really good album please 👉👈

Edit: if you don’t like my blog please just block me. I don’t intend to ever make people uncomfortable or anything of the sorts, I’m here to have fun and point out Ringo Starr in places where he simply isn’t.

Heptagon -> a shape with seven sides -> seven -> seven times ten is 70 -> 1970 -> ‘Early 1970’ is a Ringo Starr song made after the Beatles breakup in 1970. This is a single but also on the bonus track version of his 1973 album ‘Ringo’

“id talk to you about how I want to be a writer and live in Paris and then kiss you and run off”

Paris -> in the anthology series, Ringo and George talk about their time in Paris -> Ringo in particular talks about how there were some ‘slightly gay looking boys’ chasing him and George around, shouting their names

“being late to something and having to walk down a busy street is like a irl game of Subway surfers”

Late -> when it gets late, it becomes night time -> common saying when you’re leaving for the night is ‘goodnight’ -> Ringo Starr has a track called ‘Goodnight Vienna’. This is the title and opening track to his 1974 album of the same name.

[accidental-ringo-starr-reference]

Ringo Starr reference spotted!!

“Beans.”

Beans -> Ringo was known to be an avid consumer of beans, supposedly bringing a suitcase of them to India and having to leave when he ran out. He did this because he was afraid the spices would mess up his stomach as he’s always had a weak one (if I remember correctly, I think that’s what he or someone he knew said about it).

“Polygonal paradise of unyielding notoriety”

Paradise -> ‘Postcards From Paradise’ is a Ringo Starr album from 2015. The opening track, ‘Rory And The Hurricanes’ is about his earlier life in his first band of the same name (Rory STORM And The Hurricanes but you get the point).

“You know how old I am?

I did this with KID PIX”

Kid pix -> it was possible that, instead of MS Paint, Ringo Starr used Kid Pix to do his drawings in the 2000s. Some of these include ‘Hat Man’ and other works.

“when a child goes to Build-A-Bear and constructs a teddy from the parts available no one bats an eye, but when I, Victor Frankenstein,”

Construct -> opposite of construct is deconstruct -> you could say undone instead of deconstruct -> ‘Coming Undone’ is a Ringo Starr song from his 2021 EP ‘Change The World’

you never think too hard abt having an apple but then you see one and think "hm i haven't had one in a long time" and then you take a bite on a whim and it's like fuuck wait this awesome #myapple. and then when you're done you'll forget about the appleful joy because it's the only way it can be experienced again

[accidental-ringo-starr-reference]

“you never think too hard abt having an apple…”

Apple -> apple juice -> Ringo Starr was in a Japanese apple juice commercial because his name sounded like ‘grated apple’ in Japanese.

never feel guilty for blocking someone this is your beautiful internet garden and they were a weed

[accidental-ringo-starr-reference]

Ringo Starr reference spotted!!

“never feel guilty for blocking someone this is your beautiful internet garden and they were a weed”

Garden -> English Garden is the closing track on Ringo Starr’s 2003 album ‘Ringorama’. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s about Barbara Bach, his wife, and it’s a very cute song.

Alternatively:

“never feel guilty for blocking someone this is your beautiful internet garden and they were a weed”

Weed -> another word for weed is marijuana -> ‘then she held out some marijuana’ -> lyric from ‘No-No Song’, a track on Ringo Starr’s 1974 ‘Goodnight Vienna’ album. ‘No-No Song’ is a track he likes to play a lot now (I believe), especially after going sober in the 80s since he was having a particularly turbulent time with addiction and his marriage.

“i hope u all see me as less of a tumblr blog and more of a father figure”

Father -> another word for father is daddy -> ‘Who’s Your Daddy’, featuring soul singer Joss Stone, is the end track on Ringo Starr’s 2010 album ‘Y Not’ which (I think I’ve mentioned this before) was the first album he produced himself.

“wish i could act normal when i like someone but unfortunately i have to go insane immediately”

Insane -> another word for insanity is madness -> ‘Drumming Is My Madness’ is the 3rd track on Ringo Starr’s 1981 album ‘Stop And Smell The Roses’. This track is written by his close friend and frequent songwriting buddy, Harry Nilsson.
